     Loosen the two side bolts and the central one on 

the print platform.  From the front screen press 
‘Maintain’ and then ‘Home z-axis’ button on the 
front panel to lower the platform. Note that the 
platform will not move until the hood is placed 
on the printer. Align the glass platform to fit the 
screen and tighten the central bolt. Wearing 
gloves press down hard in the middle of the 
glass and then tighten both side bolts on the 
platform one after the other. Press ‘+10’, and the 
platform will lift 10mm, pour the amount of resin 
you need into the vat, then press ‘-10’ to return it 
to the screen and you are homed!

2. THE HOMING 

    PROCEDURE

NOTE: 

 If you have an object that is 100 cm3 then it will use 

115g of resin. Always overfill by at least 20% to ensu-
re consistent resin flow. For most prints, filling the vat 
to 1/3 full is more than enough. Place the hood back 
on the printer.

NOTE:

 You can check the screen is working by pressing the 

“Show calibration” button located in the “Maintain” tab 
and a red grid will appear. 

NOTE: 

Don’t remove the hood during the operation or the print 

will stop.
